Did anyone actually listen to podcast? He kinda just throws that claim out there. Doesn’t really back it up with any source. I call BS.
Spurs totally drafted as if they wanted to replace Green and Parker. Maybe they've done it with Walker, Murray and White. But then they signed Beli for a ton, kept Mills and trading for DeRozan. For all we know, the Raptors were willing to trade OG if the Spurs included Mills instead of Green, and PATFO was like, "No deal."

If true, this isn't shocking. Danny never seemed to be a front-office favorite.
Not enough towel waving leadership.
No matter what how much we want to believe the Spurs had some leverage with the whole Kawhi trade, the Spurs didn't have much leverage if any at all. The Spurs had to get rid of him. The Spurs wanted and felt they had to get an All Star in return and Toronto was the only team willing to give that up, but obviously wanted Green as well and me thinks it had more to do with his expiring contract than anything else. I'm sure the Spurs would have preferred to keep Danny, but again they had no leverage.
Their plan B was working a trade with the Clippers who were ready to deal.
Looking at it now I feel the trade with the Clippers would have worked better because obviously Tobias Harris would have been a part of it and to me he would have fit better along side of LaMarcus since LaMarcus needs the ball more to be effective. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.
If the clipps offered tobias and two #1's that would def be a better offer then derozan/poodle/protected first.Spurs could then flip lma for even more picks and harris is a natural sf

So you wanna get rid of expiring contract at $11 million but u wanna keep trash albatross contracts of mills and gasol at over $70 million. Actually definitely sounds like Coke head RC and senile Pop. those two. Hope they retire
That's Lowe's style. Dude acts like a source, but he never stands by anything he reports.
It's the same one, tbh.that looks like the same film that the TP/DG gif was made from
Got told to stfu followed by the famous TP scowl
Here comes a PATFO fluffer now.
If DG were still with us, most of these posters would be ting on him just as hard as they did the three previous season. GTFO.
I really think spurs coveted poetl
writing has been on the wall since the 50 mills midnight signing tbh
He was a tradeable asset that was practacly given away for free. Their would be no ting if the FO took their jobs more seriously. Just an ounce of common sense was all that was needed.
Surrreeeeee. He got shat on heavily as ST cliff jumpers on the players on the team. Y'all gave him the business per par, they got rid of him-prayers answered for too many Spurs "fans" here- and now there tin on the people who answered said prayers of the fickle, tired ST cliff jumping schtick.
They could land Durant for LMA and trade Mills for another star and waive Gasol and the same people who are in perpetual Chicken Little mode would all over those miracle moves.
The schtick is old and why downstairs is the only redeemable part of this board.
It doesn't matter what idiots here say. Danny Green was a desirable player in an even more desirable contract, and PATFO gifted him away.
I don't think Pop ever had any "he treats every player the same way" image.
Pop freely acknowledged that Duncan got special treatment (just not when it came to hard coaching).
Tbh, most of these posers don't give opinions anymore they just complain and complain even when the spurs where at the top just sad.
We got bent over the table because of a lying pussy. None of us know what deals were offered originally so none of us can say he was "gifted". Trades are negotiated, not just "take it or leave it" one time offers. They were stuck in a situation and, contrary to all the GMs here on ST, they did what a smart FO does- do what it takes to get out of that situation and move on.
People here were screaming to trade him since the 2013-14 DG honeymoon ended. Even if he wasnt moved, Danny wasnt going to move the needle for us on this roster and who the the else can we package him with to make the team better? The only one who we'd "need" to move is Mills and no one is taking that fat Aussie.
It was 100% "damned if we dont, damned if we do". We lost a top 5 player who quit and there's no coming back from that unless you land a Top 5 player in return. Unfortunately, two of them are on one team, the other signed with the Zombie Lakers to prepare for his post-basketball career and Westbrick isnt going anywhere.
This is just typical ST goth girl dramatics. It's just a game and people take it personal.
Agreed. This report is bogus.
I remember nothing but these same posters ting on DG every day. Now they are crying for him.
I really hated that they let DG go - but let's not pretend that you guys were in his corner. I think DG got on here more than Patty tbh.
What a smart FO would have done is keep Kawhi and force him to play to up his trade value. And before you come back with the typical, ignorant "Kawhi would have just sat out for the season" response, let me tell you that if he did that he would have been contractually forced to stay in SA for one more year. So no, he wouldn't have sat out.
Again, it doesn't matter what folks said here. Danny Green is a desirable piece around the NBA. And that statement about him "not moving the needle" is total BS. A Danny Green type player is exactly what this current Spurs team needs. We are so desperate for a 3 and D player that we even started Cunningham for most of the season. And you are here trying to tell me that Danny Green wouldn't move the needle?People here were screaming to trade him since the 2013-14 DG honeymoon ended. Even if he wasnt moved, Danny wasnt going to move the needle for us on this roster and who the the else can we package him with to make the team better? The only one who we'd "need" to move is Mills and no one is taking that fat Aussie.
No, there were many different routes to choose that would have us on a much better position right now, PATFO just chose one of the worst ones. And nobody can say that this is hindsight, because most of us ed about the trade as soon as it was anounced.It was 100% "damned if we dont, damned if we do". We lost a top 5 player who quit and there's no coming back from that unless you land a Top 5 player in return. Unfortunately, two of them are on one team, the other signed with the Zombie Lakers to prepare for his post-basketball career and Westbrick isnt going anywhere.
